Parish Notices Sunday 25th August 2013
The Rector writes : ‘Myself and the members of the Select Vestry are hosting a Barbecue in the Rectory Garden at 7.30pm on Friday 6th September. During the year in the Parish, we tend to organise lots of things which include our young people so this time we felt that perhaps we should have an adults only event. While the barbecue is a purely social affair and isn’t intended to raise funds for the parish, a donation of 5 euro from each adult to cover the costs of buying the meat and the wine would be much appreciated. It would also be great if everyone could bring either a salad or a dessert. I’m mentioning this a couple of weeks early so that you can put the date in your busy diaries. It will be a great opportunity to chat together and to have a look around the newly renovated Rectory garden. I ‘m looking forward to seeing you all there.’
Tea and Coffee will be served after the service in St Mary’s.

Random Notes LXII
“I recently attended a gathering of the Bird family, hosted by David & Heather Bird of Ballydulea, Cobh. At the event, Heather gave us all a small booklet with a selection of family recipes which had been passed from previous generations. One of the more interesting recipe books was from Avonmore on the Great Island. This belonged to my great grandmother, Elizabeth Good. Coming up to Harvest, Heather explains the importance of the season and goes on to quote Elizabeth Good:-
“Threshings were an important part of farm life before the invention of the combine harvester. It was traditional for neighbours to all help each other as the thresher went from farm to farm. This imposed a huge burden on the farmer’s wife who had to feed the whole team with a main meal sometime after midday and serve a generous supply of tea and bread morning and afternoon. Written on the back cover of this book is a recipe for corned (salted) beef headed “Threshing 1919” – it reads as follows:-
“I got 2 tail ends of beef weighing 28 to 30 lbs. Mr Grogan put it corning on Wed. for Sat. I got it out on Sat, morning at 11 o’clock, popped it into boiling water (3 pots) was boiled beautiful (sic) for 1/4 to 2 never cut nicer meat thanks to M. Ahern. I also got a leg of mutton. 1 boiler and small pot of cabbage quite sufficient”
